List-I	List-II	Explanation	Example
A. Alliteration	III. The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew	Alliteration is the repetition of the same first consonant sound in words close together. The line is from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". The "f" sound repeats in "fair", "foam", "flew" and the "b" sound in "breeze", "blew".	The big black bug bit the bear.
B. Metaphor	IV. The camel is the ship of the desert.	A metaphor says that one thing is another, without "like" or "as". The camel is called "the ship of the desert" because it carries people and goods across the sand as a ship does across the sea.	Time is a thief.
C. Imagery	I. Of beechen green, and shadows numberless	Imagery is language that appeals to the senses and builds a picture in the mind. The line is from John Keats's "Ode to a Nightingale". "Beechen green" (green beech trees) and "shadows numberless" create a picture of a cool, shady wood.	The golden sun sank slowly behind the purple hills.
D. Hyperbole	II. O Hamlet ! thou hast cleft my heart in twain.	Hyperbole is deliberate exaggeration for effect. In Shakespeare's "Hamlet", Queen Gertrude tells her son that he has split her heart in two. A heart is not literally cut, the words exaggerate her grief.	I have told you a million times to shut the door.
